Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of freeze dryer refrigeration systems, in particular to a gas-liquid separator and a refrigeration system for a freeze dryer. Background Art

[0002] The refrigeration system is a key component of the freeze dryer. Throughout a complete freeze-drying cycle, the refrigeration system operates under variable operating conditions and loads, often with wide, even extreme, variations. Therefore, a gas-liquid separator is typically included in the freeze dryer's refrigeration system to separate the low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant returning from the cold end, protecting the compressor from liquid hammer damage. Furthermore, to improve economic efficiency during high-load operation and improve operating conditions at low temperatures, the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant liquid is passed through the gas-liquid separator to further reduce its temperature and increase subcooling. This also heats the return air from the evaporator to increase superheat at low temperatures.

[0003] However, the current freeze dryer refrigeration system still has some problems. On the one hand, when the refrigeration load is extremely low in the late stage of freeze drying, the refrigeration condition of the freeze dryer will deteriorate rapidly and uncontrollably, and excessive liquid will accumulate in the gas-liquid separator, resulting in poor system operation economy, liquid in the compressor return air, and deterioration of the compressor lubricating oil, thus affecting the reliability and service life of the equipment. This is particularly prominent in freeze dryers using refrigerant direct expansion cold traps.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 The utility model is further described in detail:

[0029] The present invention discloses a gas-liquid separator and a refrigeration system for a freeze dryer. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, the gas-liquid separator 9 for a freeze dryer of the present invention comprises a cylinder 104, an air inlet pipe 101, a cooling port 102, an air return pipe 103, an oil extraction pipe 108, a supercooler 107, a hot air pipe 105, and a distributor 106; the cylinder 104 of the gas-liquid separator 9 is a vertical pressure vessel. The air outlet of the air inlet pipe 101 passes through the top wall of the cylinder 104 and enters the interior of the cylinder 104. The air outlet of the air inlet pipe 101 is arranged in the middle and upper space of the cylinder 104, and the air outlet is an oblique section. A cooling port 102 is provided on the portion of the air inlet pipe 101 outside the cylinder 104. The cooling port 102 is a hollow tube, and the refrigerant can enter the air inlet pipe 101 through the cooling port 102. An air return pipe 103 is provided inside the cylinder 104. The air outlet of the air return pipe 103 extends through the top wall of the cylinder 104 and out of the cylinder 104. The air return pipe 103 is U-shaped, with a U-shaped bend at the bottom of the cylinder 104, located closer to the bottom surface. An oil suction pipe 108 is provided at the lowest point of the U-shaped bend in the air return pipe 103. One end of the oil suction pipe 108 is located at the bottom of the cylinder 104, just as it touches the bottom surface, and the other end opens into the air return pipe 103. When gas flows through the air return pipe 103, a siphon effect is created, carrying the lubricating oil accumulated at the bottom of the cylinder 104 back to the compressor 1 along with the intake air. The inlet of return air pipe 103 is staggered from the outlet of inlet pipe 101 and is located in the upper space of cylinder 104, higher than the outlet of inlet pipe 101, with an oblique cut surface. A subcooler 107 is located in the lower space of cylinder 104, through which high-pressure liquid refrigerant circulates. Subcooler 107 is spiral-shaped, with its input and output extending through the bottom wall of cylinder 104 and out of the cylinder. One end of hot air pipe 105 extends into the lower portion of cylinder 104, and its lower end is a distributor 106. Exhaust holes are evenly distributed on the outer surface and the lower and middle portions of both end surfaces of distributor 106. The other end of hot air pipe 105 extends through the side wall of cylinder 104 and out of the cylinder.

[0030] The refrigeration system is equipped with a high-pressure liquid accumulator 3, which is used to collect and store the refrigerant condensed into liquid in the condenser 2. A refrigerant subcooling branch 18 is provided between the high-pressure liquid accumulator 3 and the gas-liquid separator 9, and a subcooling liquid supply valve 10 is installed in the refrigerant subcooling branch 18. When the freeze-dryer's refrigeration load is high, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant is controlled to enter the gas-liquid separator 9 for further cooling to improve the operating economy of the refrigeration system and increase the suction superheat of the compressor 1. A liquid supply branch 20 is provided between the high-pressure liquid accumulator 3 and the cooling end, and a liquid supply valve 13 is installed in the liquid supply branch 20. When the freeze-dryer's refrigeration load is low, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant is controlled to be supplied directly to the cooling end without passing through the gas-liquid separator 9. A hot gas bypass branch 21 is provided between the compressor 1 and the gas-liquid separator 9, and a hot gas bypass valve 14 and a pressure reducing valve 15 are installed in the hot gas bypass branch 21. When the freeze dryer's refrigeration load is extremely low, low-pressure liquid refrigerant accumulates in the gas-liquid separator 9. This controls the exhaust gas from compressor 1 to flow into the gas-liquid separator 9, heating the low-pressure liquid refrigerant accumulated at the bottom and evaporating it into a gaseous state that is then drawn away by compressor 1. A return air cooling branch 19 is provided between the high-pressure liquid reservoir 3 and the gas-liquid separator 9. This branch is equipped with a cooling liquid supply valve 16 and a cooling expansion valve 17. If the return air temperature from compressor 1 is too high after the freeze dryer undergoes steam sterilization, the return air is cooled.

[0031] The cold end includes the cold trap 5, the front box heat exchanger 7, the cold trap liquid supply valve 12, the cold trap expansion valve 4, the check valve 8, the front box liquid supply valve 11 and the front box expansion valve 6; the output end of the supercooler 107 is connected in parallel with the liquid supply branch 20 and is respectively connected to the cold trap liquid supply valve 12 and the front box liquid supply valve 11 to form a parallel pipeline, the cold trap liquid supply valve 12 is connected to the cold trap expansion valve 4, the cold trap expansion valve 4 is connected to the input end of the cold trap 5, the output end of the cold trap 5 is connected to the input end of the check valve 8, the front box liquid supply valve 11 is connected to the front box expansion valve 6, the front box expansion valve 6 is connected to the input end of the front box heat exchanger 7, and the output end of the front box heat exchanger 7 is connected in parallel with the output end of the check valve 8 and then connected to the air inlet pipe 101 of the gas-liquid separator 9.

[0032] The switch control valve and expansion valve in the refrigeration system of the present invention can be either manually controlled or automatically controlled, and include a subcooling liquid supply valve 10, a liquid supply valve 13, a cooling liquid supply valve 16, a hot gas bypass valve 14, a cooling expansion valve 17, and a pressure reducing valve 15.

[0033] The opening and closing of the subcooling liquid supply valve 10 and the liquid supply valve 13 in the refrigeration system can be controlled based on the suction temperature of the compressor 1. The opening and closing of the hot gas bypass valve 14 and the opening of the pressure reducing valve 15 in the refrigeration system can be controlled and adjusted based on the suction pressure and temperature of the compressor 1, and the liquid level in the gas-liquid separator 9, independently or in combination. The opening and closing of the cooling liquid supply valve 16 and the opening of the cooling expansion valve 17 in the refrigeration system can be controlled and adjusted based on the suction temperature of the compressor 1 or the inlet temperature of the gas-liquid separator 9.

[0034] The present invention is applicable not only to a freeze dryer with a freezing function, but also to a freeze dryer without a freezing function. In this embodiment, a freeze dryer with a freezing function is taken as an example.

[0035] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the utility model is:

[0036] like Figure 4 Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of a freeze dryer refrigeration system with a refrigeration function. This system typically features two cooling devices: a headbox heat exchanger 7 and a cold trap 5. Cooling is switched and implemented via a headbox liquid supply valve 11, a cold trap liquid supply valve 12, and a headbox expansion valve 6 and a cold trap expansion valve 4.

[0037] After being pressurized by compressor 1, the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is liquefied in condenser 2 and stored in high-pressure liquid accumulator 3. When the front box heat exchanger 7 and cold trap 5 require a large amount of cooling, the subcooling liquid supply valve 10 is opened, the liquid supply valve 13, the cooling liquid supply valve 16, and the hot gas bypass valve 14 are closed, thereby controlling the high-pressure liquid refrigerant to pass through the cold branch 18 and enter the gas-liquid separator 9. In the subcooler 107 of the gas-liquid separator 9, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant exchanges heat with the low-pressure gaseous refrigerant returning from the cold end, becoming subcooled before being supplied to the cold end, thereby improving the cooling capacity and enhancing the economic operation of the system. When the temperature at the cold end is relatively low, the return gas often contains refrigerant liquid, which can easily cause the suction temperature of compressor 1 to be too low. At this time, the liquid in the low-pressure refrigerant returned by the intake pipe 101 settles to the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 9 under the action of gravity, and exchanges heat with the high-pressure liquid refrigerant in the subcooler 107 to become gas and increase the superheat, thereby preventing the suction temperature of the compressor 1 from being too low, thereby protecting the compressor 1.

[0038] The latter part of the freeze-drying process primarily supplies cold water to the cold trap 5. However, as the moisture content of the material being dried decreases, the load on the cold trap 5 decreases dramatically. At this point, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant becomes overcooled, which is detrimental to system operation. Therefore, it is necessary to close the overcooling liquid supply valve 10 and open the liquid supply valve 13, thereby directing the refrigerant through the liquid supply branch 20 directly to the cooling end, bypassing the gas-liquid separator 9.

[0039] When the freeze-dryer's refrigeration load is extremely low, the liquid supply often exceeds the required amount to maintain the water capture efficiency of the cold trap 5. This has two consequences: a large amount of liquid refrigerant accumulates in the gas-liquid separator 9. Excessive accumulation can easily lead to refrigerant shortages in the high-pressure accumulator 3 and a liquid hammer accident in the compressor 1. Furthermore, it can cause the suction pressure of the compressor 1 to be too low, which in turn causes the temperature of the cold trap 5 to be too low, resulting in poor system operation efficiency. This also increases the compression ratio of the compressor 1, thereby deteriorating its performance. The high compression ratio also causes the compressed exhaust temperature to be too high, affecting the reliability and lubrication performance of the compressor 1. Therefore, it is necessary to open the hot gas bypass valve 14 to direct the high-temperature exhaust gas from the compressor 1 into the hot gas bypass branch 21. After throttling and reducing the pressure of the pressure reducing valve 15, the hot gas pipe 105 feeds the distributor 106 at the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 9. After sufficient heat exchange with the low-pressure liquid refrigerant accumulated at the bottom, the resulting low-pressure refrigerant vapor is drawn into the compressor 1 through the return pipe 103. In this way, the refrigerant accumulated in the gas-liquid separator 9 is vaporized with the help of the high-temperature exhaust gas of the compressor 1 and brought back to the system circulation. At the same time, the suction superheat of the compressor 1 is improved to avoid liquid hammer. Furthermore, the operating conditions of the compressor 1 are improved, and the low temperature of the cold trap 5 and the deterioration of the compression ratio are avoided, thereby improving the economy of the system operation, avoiding the deterioration of the lubricating oil, and improving the reliability of the compressor 1.

[0040] When the freeze dryer is re-started after steam sterilization, the refrigeration system is opened, the liquid supply valve 13 is opened, the subcooling liquid supply valve 10 and the hot gas bypass valve 14 are closed to reduce the temperature. If the return air temperature at the cold end is too high, the cooling liquid supply valve 16 is opened, and the high-pressure liquid refrigerant becomes low-pressure liquid refrigerant after passing through the cooling expansion valve 17. It is sprayed into the intake pipe 101 through the cooling port 102 and mixed with the return air to reduce the temperature. The resulting mixed refrigerant passes through the gas-liquid separator 9 and is sucked into the compressor 1. This reduces the suction temperature of the compressor 1, avoids the deterioration of the lubricating oil and the failure and excessive wear of the compressor 1, and improves the reliability and life of the compressor 1.

[0041] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention.
